Re: DJ add ons..
we only added on the photobooth. we are not doing any uplighting, just basic lights. i generally find all of the bells and whistles DJs have tacky.we are just having Phil from After Hours as our DJ/MC. I felt that having a separate MC would be too overwhelming.

I'm just adding up lighting. I am not getting all the lights with the dj it's not my taste nor am I getting the white front board. The up lighting we will probably do in clear lighting for the beginning and then add a color towards the end of the night. I didn't want my room all one color the whole night. The photo booth is fun I'm just over it because the past 3 weddings we went to have had it.

Re: DJ add ons..
they control the lights in the somerley room so we got the lighting package. then zap shots, montage, and a screen to show photos, also a percussionist as a surprise
cocktail hour we are having the ceremony musicians play. it was only $100 to keep them an extra hour I think on top of what we were already paying them.

we are just having Phil from After Hours as our DJ/MC. I felt that having a separate MC would be too overwhelming.
This. exactly. I MAY add the Zap Photos... My friend recently had them at her wedding with After Hours and it was awesome.

Is CH music an add-on? I thought it was just included. I guess I should find out about that. Our DJ package includes:- White DJ Booth (I wouldn't have paid extra for this, but it was included and I definitely love the look)
-Photo Montage during dinner
-Photobooth w/ props

Yea usually it is an add-on. all of the DJ's I saw were from 8-12 which was only the 4 hours for the reception. I paid extra for a band to play during cocktail hour. Some DJ's may be different though, so maybe your DJ includes that hour in your package

our CH music was an add-on with our DJ, but they threw it in at no extra charge.

I just went to a wedding where they had it and I thought it was an impressive add-on but honestly not worth the extra money if you're budgeting - which most of us are because LI weddings are so expensive lol.

After Hours (Phil) will be our MC and we're gonna have a separate DJ. No extra uplighting, as the Winter Garden Pavillion at Fox Hollow has some already included. We will do a extra percussionist during the reception, though, which I think is so fun. I like the idea of live music at the cocktail hour, but I definitely dont think its a necessity, so we're skipping itWelcome New Vendors
